Description

As explained in T137495, we want to run a test on the wikipedia.org portal page by adding links to the Wikipedia and Wikimedia apps to see what kind of interest it generates.

For the Discovery team, our measurement of success is that the links work and takes the user to the appropriate sites. However, we want to look at event logging to find out if users are clicking through and then we can compare that information to what the Reading/Mobile team collects on downloads of the apps.

@Deskana we only log 1 in 200 people on the portal, so your session probably didn't fall into the event-logging group (testing this isn't easy, you have to generate a session id that puts you in the event-logging group... I should probably make that easier)

Looking at the portal page, it seems like neither of the app links have the "referrer" or campaign parameter as specified in T137495. These are the parameters that would allow us to precisely track the source of app installs through our respective app stores. Is there a way that we can update these links?

Thanks for the stats, @mpopov ! Is it possible to tell which clickthroughs came from a mobile device or a desktop? I don't need to know which browser or device, just simply if it was a click from a mobile device or a desktop when the user clicked through to one of the 3 new links that were added.

@mpopov can you share the query with us? I'm mostly curious and interested in replicating how you distinguish between desktop and mobile. Also can you confirm the sampling rate? My understanding was 1/200.
